chapter 235
235 – Side story. After that day
Liu Yan’s mood was at its highest in months.
In fact, it had to be that way. If Namgoong Min didn’t come back, he was going to do everything he could to seriously study how to go to another dimension, but the extraordinary fortune teller is back on his feet.
I didn’t regret kissing him as soon as we met because I was a little excited. On the contrary, if the hero and Ojiryan had not physically stopped her, she would have committed suicide there.
Liu, who was biting his lips in disappointment, processed one document lightly.
If I was in a good mood the other day, I would have overlooked this, but it is a level of accounting fraud that involves taking a moderate amount of kickbacks.
“Who is the guy who ruined this?”
“I am the head of the Canadian branch.”
“Cut it off.”
“Yes, yes!”
And what I mean is that it has been at its peak these past few months.
It also meant that not now.
‘Namgoong Jisoo…… I’m really going crazy.’
Namgoong Min’s younger sister. Although she had never met him, she had heard of him many times through Namgoong Min, so she felt an inner intimacy with him.
Even though it’s not something that will completely resolve my doubts, I can still tolerate it and move on just by looking at Namgoong Min’s face.
But Rio’s feelings and reality were different.
‘Are you really targeting your next of kin? Jinttobaeg is a crazy b*tch.’
When she first saw Namgoong Jisoo, she had a hunch from the look in his eyes.
This is definitely not an ordinary year.
More than anyone could imagine, and an aggressiveness that went beyond his ability to carry out his actions, was burning in his eyes.
This is also completely hidden from Namgoong Min, and is only visible to them, including Liu.
It was a bit annoying, but Liu felt a kind of kinship with Nangong Jisoo.
To be precise, a feeling that could be called homophobia.
‘It is said that he was a
Warrior within the gate for more than several decades. This is my first time hearing this, so I must have never been to this world before. Inside the gate with no one to help, I spent decades listening only to the words of a bastard called a former god.’
If you think about it, even sane people would have become ruined long ago.
If not, rely on the former god as your only conversation partner. That bastard was probably aiming for that too.
However, Namgoong Jisoo had someone named Namgoong Min who was mentally dependent on him.
Even if you spend a year wallowing in a gate where time flows differently, you can regain your senses with just one day of meeting.
And then you have no choice but to rely on them even more.
‘I don’t know if that feeling is love or a desire to be exclusive.’
At least it was clear that Namgung Jisu was extremely loathe to hand over her brother to these girls.
She only stayed by Namgoong Min’s side for a few months, but recently she sent messages to four female students, including Liu.
Let’s settle the matter.
“……Plague disease.”
Words are the deciding factor, but they are no different from the beginning of a war.
She is still in the top position due to her status as her younger sister and the fact that she really cares about Namgoong Min, but even if she were to choose one, she is not one of those b*tches who would be convinced by him.
What more?
Liu was doubtful whether Namgoong Jisu would really choose someone.
‘Isn’t it true that you are choosing Ji?’
If something like that were to happen, Liu promised that she would unconditionally keep that woman away from Namgoong Min, even if only for her Namgoong Min’s sake.
It would be better to lose it to that evil b*tch, because if it was taken away by her real sister, I would die from a fire out of injustice.
…… Now that I think about it, even if I was taken away by a vicious b*tch, I would still get sick.
‘If it’s not me, I can never admit it.’
And the same goes for other b*tches.
Isn’t that why you formed an alliance with the evil b*tch?
It is truly unpleasant, undesirable, disgusting, irritating, and unpleasant, but if joining hands with someone like Lane can increase the possibility of having Namgoong Min to yourself by even 0.1%.
Liu could really have sold his soul to the devil…… Her soul had already been sold to a fortune teller a long time ago.
“Huh, Mr. Liu? There are still documents to be processed today…”
“Go away. I’m a little disturbed.”
“Yes!!”
Liu glanced at her aides who quickly disappeared into the room next to her and then looked down outside the base.
Below there is Namgoong Min. The building where his base is located is clearly visible from here. It was not for nothing that the rooftop was equipped with astronomical telescopes and other far-sighting artifacts.
…… In fact, there is no meaning to such underwater negotiations or work.
Because it’s easiest to stop talking and take out your competitors with the sword. How many people treated Liu like that until he became a very wealthy person in the world? How many people sank in the Yellow River?
Nevertheless, the reason why they do not fight each other physically, but only fight verbally, which seems cute at first glance.
It was a kind of trauma.
“……Ah.”
Again, my hands are shaking.
Inadvertently, my hand reaches for the dagger. I feel an urge to pierce this stupid hand.
Not long before Namgoong Min left, when a rather shameless stock operation was carried out to keep him in this world.
After Namgoong Min found out the whole truth── what kind of expression did he give Liu?
Namgoong Min, who always seemed to forgive her everything and laugh it off, rejected her for the first time.
“Huh, huh, huh… huh.”
Just imagining it makes breathing difficult. On that day, Namgoong Min’s rejection remained like an engraving and was embroidered on Liu’s head.
Liu almost gets left alone again after being rejected by Namgoong Min.
I never intended to repeat the events of that day.
I will not do anything that would make me hate Namgoong Min, even if it means dying.
If Liu Yan is hated by him, he will die mentally.
“Namgoong, Min…….”
My love.
My eternity.
My everything.
…… He has no intention of backing down from the ‘war’ that takes up space next to him.
But if it goes too far.
What if there is even the slightest possibility that Namgoong Min will be disappointed by Liu again?
‘No.’
Liu’s dagger was about to pierce the back of her hand.
If you do something like that, I will cut off your hand. Are those feelings expressed unconsciously?
Liu casually stopped the bleeding on the back of his bleeding hand, wiped the bloody dagger and placed it in her arms.
It was a familiar sight.
It was a sight I would continue to see in the future.

Lenny, a new student in Class, just moaned.
Because she was from the United States, her Romance Academy was almost like a paradise in itself. Although there was a slightly different practical reason.
Recently, the hero removed the source of the gate situation and prevented the gates and monsters from increasing further, but the United States had only regained a very small area of its original territory.
It will slowly get better over time. Americans were full of hope.
Lenny’s coming to her Romance Academy was an extension of that. She selected talented job holders and sent them to the Romance Academy for a faster revival in the U.S. Provisional Government.
Of course, it was a possible investment because the Gate incident was resolved.
Among them, only a few passed her entrance exam, but Lenny was one of those few.
For Lenny, who was making a living by going to small gates on the border between Canada and the United States, this floating city seemed like heaven.
“Me too…”
Can I become like the warrior here? Maybe I can meet him in person?
Honestly, it was a dream that went too far. I’m so busy right now.
“Lenny, did you find the base?”
“Not yet…What should I do?”
“Ugh.”
That was the realistic reason why she moaned. Finding a base.
New students at Romance Academy must find a place to stay for the next four years before the entrance ceremony begins. Of course, Lennie didn’t know that fact, and it wasn’t even possible for her to have a place to stay after her entrance ceremony.
At least I spent a few days at the base of a fighter friend I met at the entrance ceremony, and that was until today.
Since we didn’t have money to begin with, we wouldn’t be able to find a proper base, but even those half-sized houses and one-room apartments were already full.
Lenny let out her moans again at the despairing reality.
“What should I do…….”
“……Lenny, you really have to save the base no matter what, right?”
“That’s natural. You can’t continue to live in your base.”
“Then…There is one way.”
“Really!?”
Is there a way to find a base at Romance Academy, which boasts crazy prices and population distribution, and it’s too late?
Are you saying that other than the wealthy people and princesses among the second-year seniors, there was such a means?
“Do you remember when we had a battle royale at the entrance ceremony?”
“That’s it, I can’t forget it.”
It was that event that revealed the reality to Lenny, who was filled with the idea that he had entered a romance academy.
Although they were only one year apart, the second year students boasted a level of fighting power that was completely different from theirs. Especially special job classes…… It seemed like just one of them would be on par with all the freshmen.
But why is that?
“At that time, I became close with a senior martial artist. Although his way of speaking was a bit unusual, he was a kind person… I heard many stories from him, and he also had a way to solve these problems.”
“Really?”
“It’s real! Shhh, this is only for you… Did you know that there are many buildings outside Romance Academy?”
“Of course.”
“But there is a very special building among them. Do you know what it is?”
“If you knew, would you be asking?”
“It’s a fortune teller, a fortune teller. That’s from the second year representative…!!”
“……There is such a thing?”
The representative of the 2nd year is Namgoong Min from , Whom no freshmen knows about.
The rumor is that he is a great senior who is close to a prophecy and is said to have entered a special occupation class even though he is not a special occupation, and has performed various activities there, acting as a de facto leader.
He was the 2nd grade representative during the battle royale, so he was the real leader, not just the de facto leader.
I heard that they were defeated 1-1 by our representative.
“Go to that fortune teller and read your fortune. The base problem will be resolved right away, right?”
“…So, let’s solve it by fortune-telling?”
“Isn’t it worth believing in? I think it would be much more efficient than continuing to sell meaningless excuses like this. After all, it’s Namgoong Min, right?”
That too…… That’s right.
Lenny tilted his head.
“But don’t you have to pay for fortune-telling? I don’t know much about Eastern fortune-telling, but I don’t think it’s much different.”
“Um…Right?”
“If you’re so kind, there must be other customers…”
“So, now is the time for you to cover up?”
“…No.”
“Then go! Go check it out and then decide!”
……… Okay.
Anyway, even though you’ve been wandering around the Romance Academy, you haven’t gotten any results.
It still feels a bit odd to rely on divination, but he is not just some idiot, he is ‘that’ Namgoong Min.
The debt that needs to be paid is a flash in the eye, but as long as you can somehow repay it, there is no problem.
If you don’t have a base, you might have to live homeless for four years, but even though Amman Reni got used to being homeless while living at the border, it was only possible because it was a life with no tomorrow.
She would go through all kinds of education, tests, and encounters at the Romance Academy for four years, but she had no intention of staying homeless.
More than anything, if I passed the exam and ended up homeless, I would feel so unfair that I would go crazy!
“Let’s go!!”
No way.
Could something happen?
*
“Is this…A new student?”
“……I think he’s from the United States…”
“You somehow found out about this fortune teller and came here.”
“Everyone, don’t look at me like that. Don’t you feel burdened?”
“Everyone, please be quiet. Well, sir? Please sit in front of me.”
“Ah…”
Head of the Arthur family.
A warrior who is the envy of all Americans.
Emperor of the Korean Empire.
Saint of the Church.
And even the fortune teller who treats them all lightly.
Lenny wanted to run away from here right now……
